Chapter 1273: Chapter 1273: Going Home, But Where?

"I’m telling you, go to Master’s place; she seems to have a black panther by her side. Borrow it for a while, and then negotiate terms with the little guy. I bet he’ll calm down after that."

"A black panther?"

Zhen Wu blinked.

He knew that the mistress did have a black panther, but so what?

"Just do as I say. Bring the black panther in front of Fifth Young Master and tell him that if he stops causing trouble, he can play with the black panther. If he continues, take the black panther away and let him choose."

Seeing his confusion, Zhong You explained further.

"Can we really do that?" Zhen Wu was astonished.

Nevertheless, whatever the method was, it was always worth a try. He was about driven to the brink of fainting by this kid’s antics.

"Alright, I’ll go find the mistress... Miss Lin!"

Saying this, he left Zhong You behind and walked away alone.

...

Not long after, in Sui Zimo’s study.

"Causing a fuss?"

As Zhen Wu recounted the situation, Lin Caisang merely raised an eyebrow indifferently.

"Yes, Your Highness, Miss Lin, you have no idea how much trouble that kid has been causing, insisting on going home, wanting to go home. Nothing we do seems to console him."

Zhen Wu seized the opportunity to air his grievances.

What should have been a straightforward matter had turned incredibly sour with the child’s tantrums, leaving him feeling like he had stumbled into a bitter herb den, bitterness clinging to his entire being!

"That’s why, having heard from Zhong You that Miss Lin has a black panther, I thought of borrowing it to coax Fifth Young Master. It seems he might be quite interested in the black panther."

"You’re asking for Blackie?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Caisang chuckled lightly and glanced at him.

She had never heard of using a panther to entertain a child before; indeed, it was a first for her.

However, if it was Zhong You’s suggestion to Zhen Wu, then it must be reliable. It demonstrated that the child indeed had a deep interest in wild animals.

Zhong You was known for his accurate judgment of people.

"Yes, yes, Miss Lin, on your side..." Zhen Wu eagerly nodded.

"No problem, take Blackie with you."

As she spoke, a black panther appeared beside Lin Caisang, causing Zhen Wu to swallow a large gulp of saliva.

"Then, I shall take my leave first."

He really didn’t understand why such a terrifying creature was following his mistress around.

Glancing at his prince’s expression...

No, the prince didn’t even spare a glance for the black panther and him, only looking at his mistress with indulgent eyes.

"Wait."

Just as Zhen Wu was about to leave with the black panther, Sui Zimo called out to him.

"Your Highness, do you have any further orders?" Zhen Wu turned around and asked.

"Find out where ’home’ is according to Wu’er when he says he wants to return home," Sui Zimo instructed.

"Huh?"

Zhen Wu was taken aback by the command.

Where else could ’home’ be? Surely, it must be his own Prince’s Mansion, Prince Yi’s Mansion, right?

Could it be that the Fifth Young Master wanted to return to the National Teacher’s household to live a life constantly under scrutiny? Of course, that was impossible.

"You mean, Your Highness..."

"Go do it."

Sui Zimo didn’t give him the chance to speak, cutting him off with two words.

"Yes."

Zhen Wu complied and promptly took the black panther with him and left.

"Brother Molian, do you think Wu’er means another place than Prince Yi’s Mansion when he talks about going home?" Once only the two of them were left in the study, Lin Caisang spoke to Sui Zimo.

This possibility hadn’t even occurred to her.

Since Wu’er came from Prince Yi’s Mansion, everyone naturally assumed that ’home’ to him would be Prince Yi’s Mansion.
